This Void Devouring Flame seems a bit strange

These words from Void Devouring Flame completely extinguished the last reliance of Ling Ji and Ling Mie.

Ling Ji's face twitched twice, then returned to normal. He laughed at himself twice: "Yeah, I just remembered it after being reminded of it."

"Brother, are you stupid? That was a special mark made by the clan leader. Could he be more powerful than the clan leader? I think he is just trying to trick us. Don't be fooled!"

Ling Ji was so angry that he wanted to curse, "My stupid Ou Doudou, the situation has developed to this point, and you still think that they are weak?"

"You're too noisy. Be quiet." Void Swallowed Flame glanced at him, and Lingmie stopped shouting instantly, and fell straight to the ground. "Ah, it's good to be young. You can sleep until you wake up naturally all day."

"So, what exactly do you want to get from us?" Ling Ji no longer had the mind to pay attention to Ling Mie's baby-like sleep. His body was trembling slightly and his tone was a little unstable.

"Nothing, I just want to hear a story.

"story?"

"Yes, I really like listening to stories." Void Devouring Flame waved his hand, and four crystal-clear chairs and an equally crystal-clear table appeared in front of him. These were the "by-products" he made from the crystals that were contaminated with purple fire energy from the Amethyst Winged Lion King's cave when he was in the Warcraft Mountains.

"Linglong, Lingjue, you two come over here and sit down to listen together." Xuwu Tunyan waved his hand, "Okay, Mr. Lingji, start talking quickly. As for your brother, I think he's sleeping comfortably, so there's no need to wake him up."

"Yes." Ling Ji mechanically sat on the chair, facing Xuwu Tunyan, Lingjue and Linglong in front of him.

"Telling stories is exhausting, give me something to soothe my throat." Xuwu Tunyan snapped his fingers, and several teacups and teapots appeared on the table. "I'm sorry, but this is just ordinary green tea. I'm afraid you high-class guys have never had this kind of [common drink] since childhood, right?"

"..." Ling Ji was not a fool. He could hear the sarcasm in Xuwu Tunyan's words, but he didn't even know how to respond at this moment.

"Don't worry, I won't kill you. Although I'm not afraid of you spirits at all, I'm not interested in meaningless killings." The hand formed by the invisible fighting spirit picked up the teapot and filled each cup with tea. "Okay, it's time to tell a story."

After thinking for a while, Ling Ji spoke: "The cause of this matter can be traced back to something that happened between the same generation of our family."

"My two brothers are considered quite powerful among the spirit race, but there is no shortage of geniuses in the world, not to mention that our Doudi bloodlines are also different. Therefore, in the same generation, there is always someone above us. He is like the brightest flower in the bush, and we are just the green leaves that serve as a foil."

"That man's name is Ling Ling. It can be said that he was the one with the greatest potential in the tribe and the one most likely to succeed the tribe leader at that time." Ling Ji paused for a few seconds. "But I don't accept my fate, and Ling Mie is the same. We grew up together, trained in the coldest and hottest days of winter and summer, and endured it with gritted teeth even when our bones were broken and our muscles were stiff. Just because of the so-called purity of our bloodline, are we destined to be foils?" At this point, Ling Ji's tone was a little excited.

Xuwu Tunyan did not answer. He was tired of hearing such "Dong Tianbao" and "Canbao Dalong" type speeches and had no interest in complaining.

"But as a member of the clan, it is difficult for us to do anything shady. Even if we succeed, we will be caught immediately. Then our fate will be even worse, until... that day comes."

"That day?"

"Yes, that day, Ling Ling had some problem and insisted on leaving the spirit world alone. He even quarreled with the clan leader. Before that, he was always polite to others. After the quarrel ended in vain, some time passed. We thought he was just having a bad temper, but he somehow managed to hide it from the guards and sneak out of the spirit world."

"If I remember correctly, there is an unwritten rule among ancient families that Douluo above five stars cannot come out at will. Well, although this rule is in name only, however, if your clan leader has a bit of brains, he will not easily make public the fact that his best talent has run away. So I can probably guess that you were sent out to find him by taking this opportunity?" Xuwu Tunyan thought for a moment and gave a direct inference.

"Yes." Ling Ji nodded. "This matter itself is very troublesome, so the clan leader thought about it and sent us out in the name of training. It's called training, but in fact it's to find Ling Ling's trace."

"A lot of people were sent at that time, and Lingmie and I were among them. Most of them chose to go back after searching for a while without any news, but Lingmie and I kept looking."

"Because you hope to confirm Ling Ling's death so that you can replace Ling Ling's position, right?" Xuwu Tunyan directly revealed his thoughts.

"You're right, that's what we thought at the time." Ling Ji did not deny it, "After that we continued to look for him, and we actually found his trace."

"To be honest, we ourselves could hardly believe it at the time. A dignified Eldar genius would actually marry an untalented mortal woman and even give birth to two children."

Hearing this, Lingjue and Linglong's eyes changed immediately.

"So, they are Lingling's children?" Xuwu Tunyan asked the question they wanted to ask.

"Yes." This simple word was like a heavy hammer hitting Lingjue and Linglong's hearts.

"Then...what did you do to them?" Ling Jue's voice trembled a little. Although he had said before that he no longer cared about his former parents, when he really heard these things, it was impossible to say that he had no feelings at all.

"No." Ling Ji quickly denied, "In fact, when we got there, we heard that the woman had passed away. This has nothing to do with us."

"Oh?" Xuwu Tunyan's eyes became amused. "Why do I feel like you are justifying yourself?"

"If you don't believe me, just search my soul." Ling Ji made up his mind. It was impossible to run or fight at the moment, so he just put on an attitude as if he was ready to kill or chop him up as he pleased.

Anyway, what he said was indeed the truth. When he and Lingmie just confirmed the news, they heard that the woman who was married to Ling Ji had passed away. At that time, they even suspected that Ling Ling had directed and acted out a drama of "killing his wife to prove his faith."

"Soul search? That technique is too low-level." Void Tunyan chuckled, and the soul power directly entered Ling Ji's body. Ling Ji only felt that his body lost control in an instant, but this process only lasted for a few seconds.

“What just happened…” Even Ling Ji was sweating profusely. Invading the opponent’s consciousness without harming the soul was a skill that very few people in the Spirit Clan could master, but the person in front of him accomplished it with ease.

"Don't go off topic, keep talking." Void Swallowing Flame knocked on the table, "I've seen it, you really didn't lie. Even though I've seen it, you still have to continue telling me, they haven't listened yet."

"Yes." Ling Ji continued to speak honestly, "After confirming that the man was Ling Ling, we secretly blocked off the village and launched a sneak attack."

"Although Ling Ling is stronger than us, we found that he seemed to be particularly concerned about his child. So we wanted to use this to control him, but we didn't expect that when he found out that we were going to harm the child, he flew into a rage and even used secret techniques. Ling Mie was almost beaten to death by him, and I was also injured. Therefore, we had no choice but to escape. Before escaping, we placed that mark."

After saying that, Ling Ji added, "At that time we thought he was furious because of the child, but I always have a feeling that he seems to be angry for more than just this..."

"Okay, I got it." Xuwu Tunyan waved his hand and took another sip of tea: "Lingjue, Linglong, what do you think, how should we deal with these two?"
